WHY NOT A SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY INSTEAD?

WE HAVE THE CHANCE TO FOCUS ON A SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY BY STOPPING THE PROPOSED KINDER MORGAN PIPELINE.

The Kinder Morgan pipeline would create very few jobs, minimal tax revenues and would not impact energy security or guarantee a long-term solution to our economy.

KINDER MORGAN 101

Houston-based Kinder Morgan (formerly Enron Liquid Pipelines) is one of the largest fossil fuel companies in the world.

The company intends to build a new 1,100 km export pipeline for a dangerous kind of oil called diluted bitumen. The route would be carved out from Northern Alberta to Vancouver’s Burrard Inlet. It culminates at the ocean where massive tankers will transport the oil across the world.

WE HAVE THE CHANCE TO DEFEND ORCAS BY STOPPING THE PROPOSED KINDER MORGAN PIPELINE.

Kinder Morgan wants to bring over 400 tankers a year to the BC coast – more than a sevenfold increase! Orcas rely on salmon for food, which arealso at risk from an oil spill, but the noise pollution alone is enough to make the song of the southern resident killer whales go silent by wiping out this endangered species.

HOW WOULD KINDER MORGAN THREATEN SALMON?

WE HAVE THE CHANCE TO DEFEND SALMON BYSTOPPING THE PROPOSED KINDER MORGAN PIPELINE.

Salmon are already under stress from forestry, mining, agriculture and climate change. The proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline could impact them in the short term through construction, as well as in the longer term through the inevitable spills that would occur.

CLIMATE LEADERSHIP?

Building the Kinder Morgan pipeline not only commits BC to a dangerous ecological and economic risks; it also jeopardizes our international and national climate budget and puts our planet at an even greater risk.
